Purely for the mental exercise and discussion, and not something I condone at all, but:

By what right did the federal government have to stop polygamy?

It sounds like you prefer polygamy not being stopped. That is pretty much the point of this thread isn’t it, that anything called a church “defines” marriage to it’s own desires and purposes?

Though I am a firm supporter of free, faithful, sacred fertile union of one man and one woman --- I too wonder how the federal govt. could stop polygamy. I don't mean that they should *approve* and *license* it, I just mean why should they butt into a private contractual agreement?

I'm open to discussion on this, one way or the other.

My default position seems to be: I am highly skeptical of civil marriage.

By the same right they had to stop prostitution.

It didn’t suit the majority.

Now the world has become so Fugged up that a majority see Homosexuality as “normal”.

At least enough see it that way that they are trying to get it approved.
